Application: Adaptive security for smart contracts using high granularity metrics (Patent ID: US20240113861A1)
The patent filed by eBay Inc. describes technologies for high granularity metric (HGM)-based control for smart contract execution on a blockchain. The system detects function calls associated with smart contract methods, adds them to a function call stack, identifies HGMs within the stack, compares them against control rules, and blocks execution based on the comparison. The HGMs can be used to analyze anomalous activity, deviations from historical patterns, anomalous latencies, call counts, and call patterns to detect anomalies within smart contracts.
The patent outlines computer storage media storing instructions for detecting function calls, adding them to a stack, identifying HGMs, comparing them against control rules, and blocking execution. The system can analyze HGMs to identify anomalies, deviations from historical patterns, anomalous latencies, call counts, and call patterns. The HGMs can be programmable metrics measuring functional properties at different levels, and the detection of HGMs in the function call stack can be done using Function Boundary Tracing (FBT) functionality. Additionally, the patent describes a computer system with processors and storage media to perform the operations outlined in the patent for controlling smart contract execution based on HGM analysis and comparison against control rules.
